When Paige first paid Evan to pose as her beau for her demanding parents’ benefit, neither of them had any idea that true love would blossom from there. Their relationship hasn’t exactly been a fairytale but they’ve overcome their share of challenges to end up stronger than ever. Here’s a look back at Royal Pains’ most enduring couple.

Paige actually first propositioned Hank to pose as her “faux beau” in some pictures to trick her parents into believing that she was dating someone more age appropriate than her real, much older boyfriend Graham. When Hank turned her down, Evan volunteered his services but the spunky socialite took some convincing.

A shopping spree, a makeover and a photo shoot led to their unexpected first kiss (which she initiated!) in a photo booth—the first hint that maybe there was room in her heart for someone else besides Graham.

Still masquerading as a couple, Evan met Paige’s parents, General Collins and his wife Ellen over lunch. Evan performed so well that they invited him to go hunting. Unfortunately, Evan wound up being the target when the General “accidentally” shot him in the butt. Luckily it was just a flesh wound.

Paige eventually asked Evan out to dinner. Once Evan confirmed the terms—she wouldn’t be paying him for his “services” and he’d be paying for dinner—he accepted. And their relationship—their non-faux one—took off from there.

With his mother’s ring in hand, Evan proposed to Paige in the same photo booth where they had their first kiss. She said yes! But then she said no because he failed to ask General Collins for his permission. So before they could make it official, Evan had to win over the General—the same one who shot him in the ass.

After Paige discovered the upsetting news that she was adopted, she went through a very difficult time. She turned to Evan, whom she later said had been her “rock” and more like family to her than anyone else. Evan then suggested they get married as soon as possible so they could make their own family official.

Despite a blizzard that was bearing down on the Hamptons that kept most of their guests away from the December wedding, Paige and Evan tied the knot in an intimate heartfelt ceremony, officiated by Eddie who got himself ordained on 10MinuteMinister.org when both the priest and rabbi couldn’t make it.

While Evan campaigned for village council, an old guard Hamptons scion and HankMed nemesis revealed on TV that Paige and Evan weren’t technically married. They had no idea that their country didn’t recognize marriages performed by “ministers” ordained online. But at least Evan won his seat on the council.

When their relationship started taking too much of a backseat, Evan and Paige began couples’ therapy with Therapist Bob. After a few months, they tried ending their sessions. They not only wound up continuing with Bob, but also moving into his guesthouse. Jeremiah eventually discovered that Bob was neither licensed nor credentialed. Turns out they were just bearing their souls to “just some guy.”

Paige and Evan finally closed escrow on their own adorable dream home. It turned out, however, that the previous tenants hadn’t fully vacated: after lighting their first fire and before pouring their celebratory glasses of wine, snakes started falling from the chimney.

Just as they were moving into their new house, Paige and Evan thought they might be pregnant. When it turned out to be a false alarm, at first they were both relieved until they realized they actually were ready for a baby. Then Evan confessed that he once donated sperm…for a sandwich.

Evan and Paige thought they were about to become parents when Paige learned about a pregnant teenager who wanted to give up her baby for adoption. After they helped the young woman through giving birth, the expectant parents’ hopes were dashed when she decided to keep her baby. Will baby ever make three for our favorite couple?
